- Dusan Djuric and Kama Massampu are both out due to knee problems.
- However, Anthony Le Tallec is set to return from injury, and manager Daniel Sanchez will need to decide whether to restore him to the line-up or stick with the in-form Gregory Pujol.
- Karim Ait Fana is set to miss out with a knee injury, while Benjamin Stambouli is a doubt after missing the last few games due to illness.
- John Utaka is a doubt after missing the game with PSG through injury, and Younes Belhanda is suspended after being sent off last weekend.
- La Palliade boss will likely push playmaker Remy Cabella further forward in Belhanda's absence, while Gaetan Charbonnier will be expected to lead the line once more despite struggling to find the net so far in his Montpellier career.
